Mary: I have this weird thing about Martha Stewart. I love watching her, even though I loathe her.

Me: That’s probably how people feel about us.

Julia: You must blog that!

Loathe?? No, not what I said. That would imply I care. What I said is that I like listening to how stupid she sounds. If you think about it…it’s impressive that she’s socially inept and ridiculously successful. Looks like there is hope for me yet.
